Chapter 269: Encircling and Suppressing the Smelt
However, there is one thing that is quite different. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Mrs. Xu thinks that it is just a pretext that the floating island can fulfill people's wishes, but in fact, the worldly masters in the Golden Spirit Inn have other plans.
It's just that after the forces of the imperial court and the forces of the rivers and lakes have traced it one after another, they have not found anything special.
Far from making the island disappear, their investigation has only fueled the island's reputation. Whether it is the government or the opposition, the common people and the aristocracy, they all flock to the Golden Soul Inn, making the floating island from a mysterious place that does not refuse to come in the past to a mysterious place that limits the number of guests.
The more this happens, the more it piqus people's curiosity to go up and explore.
"I don't understand, I just heard that the floating island can fulfill people's wishes, and there are rare delicacies on it, but I haven't heard that the floating island asks for money. "I leaned on the low table and lay on my stomach to watch the sun set over the sea.
Gao looked at me in astonishment, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Who said you don't want money?"
"Uh...... It's true that no one says they don't want money. I frowned and touched my nose, "But no one said they wanted money? ”
Gao Yanli sighed: "You, how can there be a good thing in this world that you can enjoy without money? Although the Golden Soul Inn picks people, the money they want is not a small amount. ”
"How much is that?" I put my chin on my arm and looked up at him, "is it cash or gold?"
He put his elbow on the low table: "I heard from the master that the number is uncertain. After passing the interview, you will be told how much money to give. Those who are poor will give less, and those who are rich will give more. However, whether you are poor or rich, you will not have much money after you give it. ”
"Oh, it's the kind that uses money to eliminate disasters. I just don't know if they can really fulfill the wishes that people are willing to exchange their lives for. "I leaned on my arm, and the dull air made me sleepy.
In a trance, I heard Gao gradually leaving: "Master said that everyone who came back said that it was ...... fulfillment."
――――――
After half a month of speeding on the sea, we finally saw the wall of fog. This ship was slower than the merchant ships that Yue Yun trampled on with fierce beasts, and even if it was all out, it was far from being able to match their speed.
It was not yet dark when I approached the wall of fog, so I ordered to wait.
It wasn't until the last rays of sunlight fell that the thunder and lightning that fell on the sea finally stopped. Only thunder and lightning were still surging and flashing in the clouds at high altitude, but that could no longer affect the sea.
"Let's go!" I took out the map I had drawn on the brocade silk when I asked the male fish, circled the revised place, and said to the old boatman at the helm.
Gao was also ready to go, and seven masters stood in the bow of the boat with him. In addition to weapons and goggles, each of them also had two catties of dried black plums around their waists, and the hired helpers also carried the chains for the fish in an orderly manner.
Those helpers are not martial arts masters, but they are all extremely powerful and agile people. After setting up the chains, they hurried out the spare boat.
I personally lit the torches and tung oil headlights at the bow and stern of the ship, and the hull of the ship had already rushed into the fog wall. "Uncle Luo, it's up to you next. I walked up to the boatman at the helm and spread out the brocade with the map on it.
"Girl, since I have received the money, I will do my best to complete the confession, take you into the fog wall, and take you out. He twisted his beard with a serious face.
I nodded, "It's hard work!" With that, I carefully looked at the actual situation inside the fog wall, and from time to time I compared the map in my hand.
During the day, I was afraid that the male fish before would dig a pit for me to jump, so I asked people to catch a few fish and ask. Two of them are vocal, and when I asked the henfish about the nest, they poured beans from a bamboo tube.
Their colony is almost wiped out by the smelt, so they cooperate aggressively.
After listening to the descriptions of the two fish, I checked the map on one side and found that there were errors in several places. Now looking at the fog wall, the wrong places are indeed traps - not dug by the male fish, but natural traps.
After passing through the wall of fog almost as thick as the length of a ship, an empty group of islands appeared in front of me. These islands are scattered in the water, and in some places there are roads, but in other places they are all reefs. The places on the map that are incorrect are the places where the reefs are all over.
It's a huge open space, and you can see lightning and thunder when you look up, but weirdly, you can also see the starry sky!
To be exact, we went into the middle of the fog wall, because the opposite side was still a tumbling fog wall connected to the water. The surrounding wall of fog churns into a bucket-like space, and we are "in the bucket" at this point. And below this bucket is the sea, the walls of the barrel are walls of fog, and the huge circle of clouds above is the edge.
A circular night sky was revealed.
This is a circle of clouds and mist! The islands on the surface of the water are not small islands with lush vegetation, but strange rocks like magic caves, with teeth and claws. There wasn't even a single grass on it, it was all black stone.
It should have been burned like this by lightning and lightning.
"It's almost time for the fish nest, everyone be careful!" I whispered, clutching the map.
The people who heard me all tense their faces and looked at the other side, even Uncle Luo, who was at the helm beside him, straightened his arms, if there was no rumbling thunder, I would have heard the sound of everyone breathing deeply.
The ship had passed through a number of rocky rocks, and on the opposite side was a stone cave in the shape of a crescent with sharp claws. The cave is the kind that is not completely sealed. However, it's not that the top is not sealed, but the bottom. Below is a waterway, and above it resembles a semicircular arch in the courtyard of a rich man's house.
Unfortunately, this "arch" resembles the claws of a ferocious beast and the fangs of a forest. Just by looking at the appearance, people are afraid of what lives inside. The big boat leaned half a mile outside the hole, and the boatmen lowered the boat into the water.
"Miss Lu, you and everyone stay at the entrance of the cave. I led them in, and the seven of them. If we don't come back before dawn, you should hurry up and sail away, and you don't have to wait. Thunder and lightning have no eyes, and if they are struck, they will not survive. ”
Gao gradually left the edge of the boat, and his relaxed expression did not look like he was going to kill a fierce beast, but like he was going there to play.
In fact, I know what the ease on his face means, and the fish nest opposite is inhabited by the murderer who killed Gao Huan. He was standing at the door, and the next moment he would rush in and kill those fish, and with the black plum in his hand, the "artifact" against the Henggong fish, he was not worried about the rest.
"Then be careful, and don't be overly aggressive. If you can't kill it once, use it twice...... In short, stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood. "I said this when I watched Gao gradually leave.
The others were swordsman killers who were paid for, and they naturally cherished their lives. I'm afraid that in order to avenge his sister, Gao Yanli will work hard in it if he can't think of it, and when the time comes, I will lose my husband and break my soldiers......
